How do you 'Role'?

[Count Igor]

No need to be snide!
Besides, There was only 2 'lol's in my OP

^^
Only kidding. You're free to say whatever you wish as long it involves the correct punctuation, grammar and spelling.
And it makes sense within the context you put it in.

Edit:

i mostly play melee classes. The reason i said melee was because ranged characters tend to be squishy so that turns me off them by default.

So you're turned off by your genitals?
Pfffpfpfpfpfppfpf. I crack me up.

Sorry, it was too good to miss.

Though that's what I like about ranged/mage. You need proper tactics rather than "Hit with sword" "Block with shield" "Hit with sword"

I may be slightly biased.

 

[ethaninja]

Mage all the way!

Hell yeah. Just has much more imagination and skill required

 

[SuperSuperSuperGuy]

I'm a mage most of the time. However, I play a mage that's pretty much equivalent to Final Fantasy's Red Mages, who can use both offensive and restorative magic and equip heavier armour and swords; they can nuke and heal and, when they run out of mana, they can tank a little, too. As for alignment, I'm usually Neutral Good, Chaotic Good or Chaotic Neutral. However, if I feel like being an idiot, I go for Chaotic Stupid alignment.

 

[The_ModeRazor]

Warrior with the occasional bolt of lightning/ice/fire/whatever magic to catch 'em off guard in Oblivion. And in Dragon Age. (yes, you read that correctly)
I generally like being the fast bruiser with epic persuasion skills.

 

[Kevonovitch]

im always one of three things:
-the monk (combat monk, durr )
-the dual weilder
-the 2handed weilder

so, the monk, the main tank/dps?

 

[Edorf]

For multiplayer games I tend to go for the support classes.

In Mass Effect I went Vanquisher, I like to deal with magic but still be badass, if you know what I mean...

 

[daavisb]

D20!
but mostly some kind of fighter with a bit of magic.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Heh heh... male infiltrator...

I normally focus on magic and healing or attack. I rarely focus on defense, even though I should. I like healing others because I know how annoying it is to be fighting someone who is being healed.

 

[wolf thing]

my class changes but i usally have speech or charisma as a skill

 

[Zaverexus]

I used to always play magic users, but somewhere along the way my interests shifted and I play rogue/assassin-types now. Value speed and accuracy over brute strength.

 

[martin's a madman]

I just do what I want without giving any specific allignment to any role. That being said, in TF2 for example, I naturally take the defensive or Support classes.

Demoman, Medic, Sniper, Engineer.

 

[Baldry]

Usually in Oblivion Sneaky-magicy-fighty type o' guy. In Dragon age went mage but made sure I could handle hand to hand combat.
In fallout I tend to try and talk my way out of things but I can hack and pick locks etc and I level guns skill, so I can kick ass.

 

[brunothepig]

Only played DnD occasionally... 4th edition. Was a Tiefling warlock. Gotta love setting fire to shit.
As for RPG's. Morrowind/Oblivion I go for a medium armour with long blade, train up heavy armour when I can actually carry it. Also, alts of brawlers. Started doing that a little while ago at the advice of a friend. It's good fun. No weapons, no armour. Just punch people. Much easier on Oblivion. Oblivion I more or less ignored spells. Morrowind, well, you can do almost anything you want in that game. Chameleon spell plus a unlock spell means I can steal anything I want... Levitate means I can flee from almost anyone (and when that fails I can teleport). I really don't play many other RPG's that I can recall. Not any with huge customisation. Fallout 3 I'm just a balanced character.
Occasionally when I play an MMO, I'll go a mage/spellcaster. Everytime.

 

[EatPieYes]

In Fallout 3 I play as this very naive and good-natured girl called Martha. She has complete faith in all kinds of authority, given that all her life she's lived in the shelter the Vault. Well outside the Vault she'll learn of all the horrors of the outside world, the Wastelands, and of all the evil there is.

She'll eventually get broken down and turn into a cold-hearted killer of the Wastes.

 

[Rickyvantof]

Somethign different every time. Games like Fallout and Oblivion I play more than once, so I try to pick a unique class every playthrough. I must say, though that my favorite playstyle usually is ranged stealth, hiding in the shadows, etc. In Fallout that would be sniper (silenced sniper rifle <3) and in Oblivion stealth archer guy.

 

[Nevyrmoore]

I usually mix it up. Last RPG I played was tabletop Pathfinder, in that I played a rogue/ranger. Now I'm playing in a Cyberpunk 2020 game turned into a steampunk 1913s game, where I'm playing a character who's playstyle revolves around building items for the military to use. Items that will either help you in battle, or blow up in your face.

 

[Owlslayer]

In D&D i tend to be a cowardly/lol (seriously, a character that makes others lol. I didn't use "lol" here just to mimic the thread-maker.) ranger who's chaotic good. Often i play a bard, since i like how he can do everything. In oblivion and Morrowind i ended up with some weird self-made class that wanted to use every bloody skill and ability in the game, and thanks to that, got his ass beat by a mud-crab. Seriously, whenever i play a game with a lot of content and character-building, then i mess up just like that.

However, I have never played an evil character. I've tried several times, but dammit, i cannot go the evil way. For the greater good, yes. But not evil.

And for class, i usually go for mage (Oblivion). I rarely play anything sneaky (only rogue i have is a level 14 in DDO). I don't really like being just with a sword (warrior) , it seems a bit dull.

Also, in Mass Effect, i played the class that used shotguns and levitate-thingy. And i loved my character.

 

[Ouroboros0977]

Ok my character in a rp campaign, this is a dark heresy game (Warhammer 40k universe), as in you WILL die and you WILL die spectacularly, I am a forgeworld Guardsman, so a skitarri, with what is essentially a m79, an auto shotgun with a red dot sight and bayonet, and a very large rifle, and the long range bludgeon (crowbar with telescopic sight on (wonder where I got the idea...)).

 

[TheLiham]

stealth all the way!

 

[Jamiemitsu]

As a stealthy assassin type in Oblivion, switching between blade and bow.
